World-Champion Chefs to Release First Cookbook of Its Kind
Cooking with America’s Team Debuts Early 2005
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA., October 28, 2004—On the heels of a gold medal and World Championship win at the venerated “Culinary Olympics” in Germany, the American Culinary Federation announces the most comprehensive and user-friendly cookbook ever from the United States’ official team of competing chefs.
Cooking with America’s Team: Sizzling Recipes from Chef Edward G. Leonard, CMC,
and the American Culinary Team boasts more than 100 recipes from the chefs who make up ACF Culinary Team USA 2004. The United States recently scored highest in restaurant-style cooking among 32 nations at the 21st Olympiade der Köche, or “Culinary Olympics”—a quadrennial international cooking competition launched 108 years ago and still the most-prestigious event of its kind in the world. Recipes from the 2004 “Culinary Olympics” and the personal larders of the chefs themselves make up Cooking with America’s Team.
Cooking with America’s Team features easy-to-follow formulas with complete inventories of obtainable ingredients to create such inventive and mouth-watering dishes as Grilled Red Snapper with Shrimp and Fennel Salad and Veal Chop with Grilled Endive and Polenta Fries. Unlike any cookbook published before by a U.S. culinary team, Cooking with America’s Team both inspires the menus of professional chefs and simplifies the creation of gold-medal-caliber dishes for the home cook. Indeed, Cooking with America’s Team offers fool-proof, executable recipes—created by successful working chefs, many of whom are U.S.-certified master chefs—that appeal equally to professionals and cooking enthusiasts.
Featuring full-color photography throughout its 240 pages by award-winning photographers John Ormond and Ron Manville, Cooking with America’s Team sells for $24.95 through Feeding Frenzy, Inc. Bulk discounts are available. To order, call (888) 311-8442 or visit www.americascuisine.com.
